Abstract/OtherAbstract:

Ozonolysis of the 2,6-divinyl derivative of a naphthalene diimide (NDI) affords a 2,6-diformyl-NDI, which can be used in Knoevenagel condensation reactions, as demonstrated by the synthesis of a 2,6-bis(2,2-dicyanovinyl)-NDI. UV-vis absorption and electrochemical data are compared to those of the parent NDI.
